Review & Install Video

I'm Ryan from extremeterrain.com, and this is my review and installation of the Omix-ADA seven-inch Fender Flare kit fitting all 1997 to 2006 TJs. Today we're gonna talk through the installation of this Fender Flare kit which I'm going to give a very simple one out of three wrenches because these are designed to bolt directly in place of your factory flares without the need to drill any holes in your body. We're also going to talk about the construction and a few of the other features of the flares.
There are few different reasons that you might want to replace the factory flares on your TJ. If you still have the original flares, chances are they are faded from the sun and instead of being black, they're more of a white or gray color. The flares can also crack if you rub them on an off-road obstacle, or you may just want to replace them with a wider set, like the ones we have here, to give you more tire coverage. If you have a wider tire or less backspacing on your wheels, it pushes the tire and wheel package away from the center line of the jeep, so having a wider flare like this will ensure that the tire's completely covered, which will help the tire from throwing junk up on the side of your jeep but will also keep you legal in areas where there are laws concerning tire coverage.
This set of flares is going to look factory, give you more coverage and be really aggressively priced. This fender flare kit includes all six pieces to replace all of the flares that are currently on your jeep, and that is something that's a little bit different from some of the other flare sets on the market. This does include the small flares that go directly behind the front tires and in front of the doors on your TJ, where some of the flare kits only include four flares.
These are made of a rugged thermoplastic material that is UV treated to keep them from fading in the sun, and as I mentioned before, they are designed to bolt directly in place of your factory flares. Because this kit does include all six pieces and also the hardware necessary to get them installed, again, this is a very simple one out of three wrenches.
The first step is, of course, to remove your factory fender flares, which you'll do by removing all of the bolts that hold them in place. Now, this is the one area that might make this install a little bit more time-consuming or difficult. The factory flares are held onto the body with Nutserts that are installed into the metal fenders. If you have a lot of rust on your jeep, there could be a couple of those Nutserts that end up spinning, making them more difficult to remove.
If it's one of the Nutserts that you can get to the back of, you can simply grab onto it with a pair of pliers or vice grips and go ahead and loosen up the bolt as you otherwise would. However, if it's one that you cannot get to the back of, you are gonna have to be a little bit more creative with how you get the factory flare off and get the new flares installed.
Either way, once you have those factory flares uninstalled, you'll simply hold the new flares up to the side of the jeep and use the new hardware to get them bolted into place.
One of the nice features about these flares is that you can use the factory turn signal and marker light out of your factory flare. Simply unclip it, put it into your new one and you're good to go. Again, very simple installation that will only take you around two hours to complete, and you won't need any specialty tools, just some traditional hand tools.
Like I said before, these flares are very aggressively priced. It's hard to find for under $200 a set of all six pieces, including the hardware, that bolt right into place, are built well and are going to hold up for a long time. I think that these are a really good buy. Sometimes you do get what you paid for, and when a product is priced lower, you get a lower quality. I don't think that's the case with these. These are still very well built and a great buy. So whether you're looking to replace your factory flares because they're faded, cracked or because you need some more tire coverage, this is going to be an inexpensive and easy to install kit.
So that's my review of the Omix-ADA seven-inch Fender Flare kit fitting all 1997 to 2006 TJs that you can find right here at extremeterrain.com.

My fender flares don’t work well together. The part that is the short extension will not match up with the front main fender flares. It leaves a gap/ shoves the back end of the flare up. It looks very bad. Is this a manufacturer mistake as far as shape or is it the wrong part?

A couple questions. First, how do I fix that the interior lip of the product does not match the shape of the wheel well. Second, is the front of the fender flare supposed to reach the bottom of body, or should it come up about 2-3 inches short? Lastly, what can be done if the bolt holes do not line up properly with the preexisting bolt holes in the body?

Adding the wider 7" fender flares improved the look of my jeep giving it a (perceptually) wider stance however the washers for the hardware were too small for the holes and had to be replaced with others.

The fender flares look great! Installation was not difficult although I had to bend the rear fenders a little to conform to the existing holes.
Removal of the stock fenders took forever but the new flares went on easily. I had to lengthen the cable for the signal lights a little to fit the new flares.
In all, a great product!!

The product was ok. The problem came with the customer service. No hardware was included with the fender flares. Called in and they said they would ship out the hardware kit. Its been two weeks and still nothing. I ended up buying what I needed.

Well, this is definitely a get what you pay for deal, in spite of the video review. The fit is poor and the flares must be forced into place. The hardware is minimal (needs washers) and the extensions for poorly and again, must be forced into place. Finally...the parts were wrong. I received two passenger flares instead of one each. I still await resolution of this issue. Overall, I suggest spending more and getting better. Would not purchase again.

Good product. They were easy to install and fit well. IT changed the look of the jeep and added coverage to protect the body. There wasn't enough screws to completely install them but some of the old hardware worked. Still a good buy!

¬Installation was pretty quick (30-45 min) but I didn’t like that the fender flare extensions didn’t match up without any cutting. There were also a few missing bolts so lucky I could use the bolts off my stock fenders. All together they look pretty awesome!
